goats milk under 1yr?

[massivebigpantsface]

this site says no, but does anyone know why?
i had hoped to give to dd instead of cows milk in her porridge etc.

bump, someone must know!

Odd that it doesn't explain why... My dd has goats milk, she is 8 months. It is pasturised St Helens Farm stuff from Sainsburys.

dont know!my lo is older(18 months) but havent clue why not

I found out why a while back but it was so technical I couldn't understand it! I'll see if I can find it again and post a link

thank you - so I can use goats milk products eg yogurt, and milk as part of the meal, but not as a drink, at 6 months.

Yep, goats milk is fine. Ds has had it since 8m in his food. It is easier to digest than cows milk.

and is very delicious too!

plus: it is easier to digest

minus: it is lower in folic acid. Shouldnt be an issue if your child eats lots of spinach

my children had goats milk in cooking from about 4 months, and as their main drink from 1 year.
